This Paddle is made in U.S.A.
The Response Pro paddle is an innovation in the world of pickleball because of its rounded shape. This design provides players with a large sweet spot with a soft touch, allowing a firm grip on the paddle. Players can generate a lot of power in every swing while maintaining control of direction and speed thanks to the thick polymer core. Prince pro Simone Jardim used the Response Pro during her historic run at the 2018 US Open in Naples, FL. She won four gold medals and collected the "Triple Crown" by taking the top spot in Open Pro Women's Doubles, Mixed Doubles, and Women's Singles.
The Response Pro Paddle is 8.25" wide with a slim edge guard. This gives players the largest possible usable space. Player testers have remarked that the performance feels consistent from side to side, neck to tip. This is thanks to what many say is the largest sweet spot they've experienced. The handle length is 5.5" which allows for plenty of room for a two- handed backhand (like Simone) and an extended reach across the court. The Response Pro is available in either 4 1/8" or 4 3/8" grip size as well as several weights to best suit playing style. The paddle graphic features the Prince "P" over a zigzag pattern.
The broad face of the Response Pro paddle allows players the chance to return any shot that comes their way with plenty of speed, control, and pop. It is available in light (7.2 - 7.6 oz) or standard weight (7.7 - 8.3 oz). Also available with small or large grip size. Chose from camo green, red, seafoam, Simone Jardim black, Simone Jardim blue, Simone Jardim pink.

I recently bought Prince Response Pro after trying several different paddles. I feel I get power and finesse with this paddle. It is not heavy on my arm and has a big sweet spot. I feel more confident in my shots. I love it!

I recently received my first Pickleball paddle - a Prince Response Pro (standard weight) in a nicely designed red graphic... I must say, it plays like dream. Up to this point, as a 40+ year competitive tennis player, I had borrowed other friend’s paddles. I also purchased an identical paddle (light weight) in the sea foam green for my wife, as a Valentine’s Day present. Great paddles - stellar service. I don’t know if Pickleball will ever replace tennis as my main passion... but with this paddle in my hand, who knows!

I absolutely love the Prince Response Pro. I chose the standard weight so I can have a little more power, and, since I have small hands, I chose the smaller grip (4 1/8). I love the fact that it has a large sweet spot and the extended handle for my two handed backhand. This paddle is perfect for my pickleball play!
